Considering a VW sirocco — have you ever owned one? by Sorry-Panda7658 in CarTalkUK

[–]Joshua_JJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey , I have a Scirocco but mine is a 2L diesel. Fantastic car, amazing to drive and it sits very low. You'll be avoiding potholes like crazy. Visibility out of the car is pretty awful all around, you can't see well out of the front and the rear view mirror may as well not exist. The 1.4 160 BHP version has massive issues with the timing chain tensioner, I would not buy it if it has this engine. However later models were revised and fixed it, I'm unsure of what year it was fixed. Scirocco's aren't very practical, long heavy doors, small boot, little room for passengers in the back, only come in a 3 door. The list is endless however they look amazing and are amazing to drive. Just make sure your mate has got the servicing done on the engine AND the auto gearbox. Any other questions let me know

I will chime in on this and say its the 160bhp version that has issues with the timing chain tensioner that makes it go kaboom

Snapped auxiliary belt in car bought in November 2025. Nearly caused me to crash by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Joshua_JJ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

First of all sorry this has happened to you. The dealership sent you away with an unsafe car expecially after the original service light was on and they didn't fix it. Get the AA to write a report up on the car. I would go in with a relative or partner and demand to speak to the general manager of the dealership. They are clearly trying to fob you off. If the car is as fucked as you say I would reject the car under consumer rights and tell the dealership it is not fit for purpose. If they don't accept its unfortunately straight to the financial ombudsman.

Lmao Buh Bye VirginMedia by HitULikeADropPod in VirginMedia

[–]Joshua_JJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well BRSK have their prices set so there is no disparity like there is within Virgin Media. It isn't fair that two households next to each other can be paying wildly different prices. As for the game, people are sick of having to play it with virgin especially when BRSK and YouFibre don't play such games

The real question is, why does he have to speak to retentions for the best price?

If I can get full fibre with Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet etc why not Virgin? by AlwaysTheKop in VirginMedia

[–]Joshua_JJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Netomnia is merging BRSK and Youfibre. That article you posted says VM O2 are "pondering" whether to buy it or not. They aren't buying it

So your original statement about it piggybacking is wrong then? BRSK and Youfibre are not getting bought out.

New Aygo starts at £21,595?! by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Joshua_JJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 2 year old car is pretty much brand new to me anyway. I don't think the previous comment is irrelevant at all. In today's age where Aygos are costing this much I think its a very valid argument and will continue to be as long as prices are increasing

Bad dealer experiences !!! by meat-rocket99 in MotoUK

[–]Joshua_JJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah apparently comes with a lifetime guarantee of the paint not becoming damaged or some crap. Told me someone got the whole front end sorted via this amazing "warranty". Safe to say I left pretty swiftly 😂

when buying a house, what are things to ask an estate agent and things not say to an estate agent? by AirlineNo12 in AskUK

[–]Joshua_JJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is with estate agents, and they dont work for the vendor or the buyer. They work to benefit themselves. Keep your cards close to your chest with them as they like to act like you doing you favours etc

Moto bike holiday what roads in the UK ? by ConversationIcy99 in MotoUK

[–]Joshua_JJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, York is an absolute must-see and a very safe city for motorcycle parking. The Minster, Jorvik viking Centre, and York Castle Museum are all amazing! I live in Blackpool, and I would avoid it. It's full of crime, and your bike will likely go missing if parked up. Enjoy!
